#I dunno if I can fix it by then

[afniel]

I went to play Stardew Valley but instead my computer has decided to throw a BSOD every five minutes for no clear reason that I can get from the event viewer, so I guess I'm waiting for the memory diagnostic to run instead and that's going to take...at the speed it's going and the amount of RAM I have...all night at minimum. Yaaaaay. >:\ I can fix it, I'm pretty sure, but man, let me play Stardew Valley. I was excited about the update.

I'm so glad I write on my phone. I'd shit the bed at least as hard as my computer is if I had to stop just because SOMEONE decided to throw a goddamn KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE multiple times in a row and die instead of doing their job. Like bro come on I throw errors all day and you don't see me shutting down about it, Dagstjarna.

(That's my computer's name, and also a FFXIV RP character, but that's traditionally how I name electronics. The only real exception was The New Hotness, my previous desktop.)

#dunno what happened because I didn't even change anything #it just started Doing That. and that's not a very conclusive error message either #so I'm gonna be working on this one for a while I suspect... #bleh I had plans to play SDV with my brother tomorrow afternoon #I dunno if I can fix it by then #we'll see I guess

whatever you do, don't flip this. other than that, it's done.

Something that compels me so much about Maglor/Luthien is that if you change Beren with Maglor, the quest for the silmaril becomes so much more juicy

Because, yeah, on one hand it's still a suicide quest designated to either make Maglor give up Luthien or die in the process of the quest, thus freeing Luthien.

But on the other hand, this is Maglor's family treasure he is asking as bride price (which also makes it an actually accurate as a bride price is supposed to be something the groom's family already has yk), Thingol is asking Maglor to give him the whole reason the Feanorians even left Aman in the first place, the thing Feanor died trying to re-take, the reason he has been fighting for years.

Not to mention that depending on how you decide to read the oath, Thingol is asking him to not only curse himself but his entire family for Luthien, asking him if a life with Luthien is worth eternal damnation.

#the original is a fairy tale #maglor/luthien is a tragedy #I love it so much more if their marriage doesn't fix the story #celegorm imprisoning luthien could be him thinking she had tricked his brother #also rather than someone getting cocky #(not using the character name so it won't end up in the tags) #it would make sense in many ways that maglor would try to get all three silmarils #you don't even need to lose the singing to namo #in tragedy version you can have mags dying #then luthien goes and bargains to exchange place with him #leading to maglor returning to life alone #breaking relations with doriath as thingol sees it as maglor taking his daughter away from him #(maybe dior can be daeron's son it's the only dunno of this whole thing) #(i have a soft spot for gil-galad son of maglor/luthien anyway) #maglor/luthien #maglor #feanorians #silmarillion #the silmarillion #silm #silmaril

Mayncient Day 1

I dunno if I will be able to participate in every prompt for mayncient, but I am definitely gonna try do as many as I can find time for! (I did not finish this sentence when I originally posted it c':)

Day 1 was intro, so what better way to introduce this existentially cursed crew than with an Encyclopedia Entry?! c':

(I just used print screen on a PDF of the EE3 and painstakinly cut them out of the screenshot to get those borders if people are wondering how I got them. Persistence. Persistence is my answer to you. Sorry I did not think to save them as assets OTL)

Edit: there is a template available for the EE frames (not made by me) if you check the comments of this post!

personally i like when the mosquito humanoid is more mosquito than human

#as i was drawing this i realised perhaps the additional appendages should be legs instead of arms #but i like them being arms more because its easier to draw him as bipedal #i dunno tho maybe ill change my mind if i can come up with a multipedal design #also his right leg is way too far up lol but i only realised after i started colouring and im too lazy to fix it #🦟🦟🦟 #brawl stars #brawl stars art #brawl stars fanart #brawl stars angelo

Storytime, when I started a second playthrough it was mainly because I craved sudoku. Female Ryder (custom), Scott Ryder / Mass Effect Andromeda (c) Bioware

#mass effect #mass effect andromeda #mass effect fanart #bioware #female ryder #custom ryder #scott ryder #comic #sudoku #remnant decryption puzzle #I'm a sucker for logic puzzles what can I say #but only the ones I can manage are good. the rest are obviously designed poorly. #so. I made a really disgusting soup this week because several years ago my mom bought these sliced... beet artichokes? I dunno. anyway #they were forgotten in the basement freezer and when I moved I decided to bring them with me and see if they could be eaten #and you can (usually) make a really nice soup with them and potatoes etc but problem 1 was that they were not properly cleaned #and since they had been frozen I saw no clear way to like. fix them. so I popped them in the pot thinking it would all boil apart anyway #and here comes problem 2 - it's all supposed to be blended with that hand mixer thing you know? but I had forgotten it while moving #so I only had my electric whisk available for like 1 kg of root vegetables and almost 2 l liquid all needing to be crushed together #and I could not do it in the pot because it might damage the glaze or whatever so I stood there scooping everything into a bowl #and then tried to whisk it together into a smooth soup with my little electric whisk. I shall tell you that this was not a good idea. #anyway so I have been eating this lumpy yellow-grey mess with bits of peel in it and while writing this I still have three more days to go #every evening has been me going 'if you eat it you can have something nice after ok? don't look at it just swallow...' #and two weeks before this I made a really lovely fake palak paneer and it was a week of bliss and I suddenly started writing a lot #and after that came this soup #it's fine. it's fine. I would be hard pressed to cook anything worse than this for next week. so it's fine.

Happy Birthday

dabi × afab she/her and poc friendly reader

safe for work // 1,633 words // AO3. warnings: smoking, swearing, cheesy, dabi has an avoidant attachment style, self-harm mention but nothing happens.

summary: He wanted this conversation to be over and done with, snuffed out like a cigarette under his boot. It'd be easy enough to end it himself, all he had to do was be an asshole and leave you behind. Nothing he hadn't done before.

"Knock knock, mind if I join you?"

"Yes."

"I brought cake."

He turned his head slightly towards you, eyeing the paper plate in your hands. In it sat a pretty little slice of glazed strawberry cake with a plastic fork stabbed into it. You had made sure to pile on a bunch of strawberries, just for him.

You may have been the newest addition to the League of Villains, but it wasn't hard to figure out that he was intentionally a loner. Criminals were usually careful not to form close connections with others and the League was no exception. Although, that didn't stop you from being on friendly terms with the other members. They even threw a birthday party for you tonight. With karaoke.

Whereas, Dabi evacuated the mansion at the first sign of a celebration. He rose from his chair when Toga and Twice carried out the cake hidden under a mountain of candles and he was out of the building by the time Mr. Compress enthusiastically accompanied their vocals with a spirited harmonization.

His eyes glanced down at you as he blew smoke out of the side of his mouth and flicked his cigarette away. You frowned.

"That could start a forest fire."

"I could start a forest fire." There was a subtle twitch of his lip that would have went unnoticed had the clouds not cleared from in front of the moon in time.

You offer him the cake, which he wordlessly took, ignoring you as you snuffed out his cigarette. Once no longer lit, you shoved it in your pocket to properly throw out later. You crossed your arms and leaned against the tree, staring out at the umbrous silhouettes of the coniferous forest.

"Being this far out from the city is so nice. Fresh air, no noise pollution. Bunch of stars."

"There's noise pollution," Dabi swallowed down a strawberry. "Y'make it every time you open that dumb mouth."

You snorted in amusement. "I guess you're right about that, but I know you'd miss me if I stopped talking to you."

"If I never have to hear you yappin' at me again, it'd be too soon."

You playfully blew a raspberry at him in fake-annoyance. "You'd have to find someone else to bug you." You pursed your lips. "He's already got Toga, but I'm sure Twice could squeeze in a second best friend," you teased.

He rolled his eyes as he took another bite.

"Spinner?"

"The hell am I gonna talk about with that lizard?"

"First of all, it's a gecko quirk and you know that so don't be mean," you declared in defense of your comrade. "Though, you're right -- what would you talk about? I assume that also means no Tomura? I don't think I've ever seen you guys talk casually before -- aside from the dryest conversation about the weather… Maybe if we find some common ground between you two--"

"Fuck no."

"Aww, hey, he's not that bad. He's just…"

You rubbed at your neck unsure of what to say to that. Nothing you could say would change his thoughts on the matter. You weren't particularly close with Shigaraki, he had his own way of going about things which could be off-putting to most, but he just struck you as an awkward person who grew up without much social contact.

"The League sure is full of lonely people, huh?" You looked back up at the star-filled night for a few minutes, the both of you settling into a comfortable silence. An owl hooted in the distance as a cricket began to chirp from somewhere nearby. "I've always wondered if shooting stars ever got lonely."

"Sorry," you shake your head and laugh in embarrassment. "I like stars. Do you?"

"Stupid question."

You wondered if it really was and thought about how stars must seem miniscule to someone capable of burning as brightly as him. You leaned your head against the trunk and watched him finish his cake.

Earlier in the day, while writing down a list of necessary ingredients to bake and decorate the cake, there had been a conversation about birthdays. You couldn't remember who exactly brought up the topic, but you certainly weren't expecting the other members to easily give away that information. Unsurprisingly, Dabi was the only one that didn't share his.

He followed a gust of wind that swept through the night and as he passed you, flicked his plastic fork at you. You clumsily caught it and complained, only earning his indifference in return. He turned his back to you and set the paper plate ablaze. You opened your mouth to remind him of trashcans and how they still exist, but the words died in your throat as you watched the smoke get carried away by the breeze, away from you. You were secretly grateful that he was too busy making his way to an adjacent tree to notice you bite back a smile.

"Dabi."

"What is it now?" He leaned against his new tree and lazily shoved his hands in his pockets. He was always good at keeping his distance.

"You don't have to tell me your birthday."

He scoffed, "Way to state the obvious."

"We can share mine."

He narrowed his eyes at you, analyzing you for any sign of a punchline but your face was earnest. Annoyingly so.

"What makes you think I want your dumb birthday?"

"It's not that I think you want it, but wouldn't it be nice to have a day to celebrate… you?"

"What's there to celebrate," he sneered. He didn't mean for it to be taken so seriously, but the dopey look of concern on your face made him regret he said anything. Your brows furrowed.

"A lot. There's a lot to celebrate."

"Don't get all mushy, you're creepin' me out."

"Am I?"

"Yes," he growled. He wanted this conversation to be over and done with, snuffed out like a cigarette under his boot. It'd be easy enough to end it himself. All he had to do was be an asshole and leave you behind. Nothing he hadn't done before.

Deep, deep down there was a hungry part of him that ached. It belonged to the part of him that he had refused to acknowledge for the past seven years. He continued to ignore it's existence despite it being the very thing that kept him rooted in place, as though he were one of the trees in this giant fucking forest. The frustration it filled his chest with made him want to light himself on fire.

"At the expense of sounding like a creep…" You chewed on your bottom lip as you stared back up at the stars. Your fingers fiddled with a loose thread on your clothes. You were so easy to read.

"I'm really glad you're here."

Another breeze passed between the two of you, carrying your words along and rustling leaves. You looked over at him with eyes that overflowed with a depth of sincerity that made him want to start a wildfire and let himself get caught in it. He felt physically ill.

 "You're gonna make me sick."

One of Dabi's eyes squinted more than the other as his tongue poked out of his mouth enough for you to see his piercings. The way his face scrunched reminded you of a cat's Flehmen response. You would've thought it was cute if you didn't feel so offended right now.

You huffed, staring at the grass as you tried to ignore the heat that crept up to your cheeks. "Was it really that bad?"

"Cheesy as hell. Keep that shit to yourself."

You shook it off and sighed exaggeratedly. "Well, since you seemed to like it so much, I might have to do it again for you some time." You stuck your tongue out at him playfully.

"Don't you fuckin' dare or I'll roast you on the spot."

You grinned and opened your mouth to offer a lighthearted retort when you heard your name being called in the distance. You turned to look around the tree and saw Toga waving you over for your turn at karaoke. You waved back at the younger girl in acknowledgement before she hopped back inside the mansion.

"I'm surprised they managed to pry the mic out of Mr.'s hands long enough to give someone else a turn," you laughed. "See you later. I'm glad you liked the cake."

"Yeah, yeah."

He pulled out a pack of smokes from his jacket and stuck a cigarette in between his lips. He lit it and watched as you fiddled with the plastic fork he flicked at you earlier. "What're you still doing here for?"

You smiled at him.

"Happy birthday."

"Tch, cheesy," he spoke humorlessly as you turned away. "By the way..."

You looked back at him and felt your face burning up as you saw his gaze drop from your eyes down to your lips.

"…Dabi?"

He smirked.

"Y'got cake on your face."

You blinked a few times as you processed his words before swiping your mouth. You looked at your hand to see the vivid scarlet of the strawberry glaze.

"Oh." You looked at it for a moment before wiping it against your clothes and giving an awkward laugh, "Um, thanks."

"You got a room full of ears to make bleed, mine've had enough. Get outta here."

You laughed before you jogged back to the mansion. He stared at the ground where you previously stood and took a drag. With each inhale, the toxins purged his body of a restlessness that had been stirred by the zephyr of your words.

You talk too much. 

He looked up in time to see you wave goodbye at him before you disappeared inside. He breathed in another lungful of fumes before exhaling it up at the same sky that always seemed to captivate you.

"Happy birthday."

It's been ten years. I think I'm due for another incrediblely self-indulgent ship of two characters who barely interact

#dumb doodles #super mario #luigi's mansion #e. gadd #king boo #luigi #i dunno what to tell you folks beyond thinking the two of these objectively terrible people having a pseudo relationship is kinda funny #i mean. they both trap people in portraits in the first game.... #so like...that's a similar taste in 'art'.... #and from what i can tell; e. gadd's never too terribly upset about king boo escaping #it's just a minor inconvenience that luigi can fix when he comes over
